Yes, it is infact a short chain molecule :D
A hydrocarbon composed of short carbon chains will ignite more easily, just think how flammable petrol is!
A hydrocarbon chain that is bent is called a branched hydrocarbon chain. This means that the carbon atoms in the chain are not arranged in a linear fashion, but rather have additional side chains branching off.
Hexane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon, meaning it has a continuous chain of carbon atoms with no branches or side chains attached.
Yes, short hydrocarbon molecules are typically volatile because they have low molecular weights and weaker intermolecular forces, allowing them to easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. Examples of short hydrocarbon molecules include methane, ethane, and propane.
When a hydrocarbon chain is bent, it is called a branched chain. This means that the carbon atoms are not arranged in a straight line but have branches coming off the main chain. Branched chains can affect the physical and chemical properties of the hydrocarbon.
Petrol is called a hydrocarbon because it is primarily composed of molecules containing hydrogen and carbon atoms. The main components of petrol are hydrocarbons such as octane, which is a chain of eight carbon atoms bonded together with hydrogen atoms.

Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.

No, petrol is not an electrolyte. An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water, while petrol, which is a hydrocarbon-based fuel, does not possess this property.
